Foreword

Wasn’t it pleasant, O school mate clear,

When we came to the end of our Senior year
And found, when all our labors were through,
Though unwilling, the Muses we’d often pursue
That all our Annual dreams came true
In dear old H. H. S.

We make no excuses, our aim has been true,
We’ve given our best, dear friends, to you!

And though our pathway with troubles was spread
Swiftly along the road we have sped,

Our cares behind, and our goal ahead
In dear old H. H. S.

Pictures of memories you weave once more
From our Golden threads of the high school lore.
And may this hook your fancies so train
That viewing it you’ll almost obtain
A review of those four short years again
In dear old H. H. S.

Levi Bowman

“ Either don’t attempt it or go through
with it.”

Levi Bowman we have with us here,
he joined us in our Senior year ; his
pranks are few, his intentions sincere,
now Levi, we're certainly proud of you.

Lyall Bowman

‘‘To live long it is necessary to live
slozvly.”

Lyall's a lad so very meek, and to
the girls he seldom speaks. With his
smiling blue eyes and most pleasing ways,
success will likely brighten his days.

Donaed Burge

“Do not wait for an opportunity, but
work for it.”

Now Donald is a shy young lad; if
he makes his mark some day we'll he
glad. He passes each test and works
with a zest and we never have heard
him complain.

Blanche Burge

“I’d rather be thought true than be
thought a genius.”

The best of work is the work well
done ; this is her motto, this tune she
hums ; she’s one of the stars in our
Senior, class and her manners are those
which none can surpass.

Page Fifteen

Irvin Burkman

"This is really a great time to live in.
if any of us can catch the cue of it.’’

Irvin is seen but not heard, for we
hardly know he's around. His walk is
easy, his manner slow ; in the commer-
cial room he’s usually found.

Altadena Carpenter

"How sweet her looks on them
To whom her favors fall.”

Oh, Altadena is a pretty girl ; she
wears such lovely clothes. Her cheery
smile wins many friends, no matter
where she goes.

Evelyn Charpie

"A heart to resolve, a head to contrive,
and a hand to execute.”

* Now Evelyn is a dark haired lass,
who adds much pep to our Senior class.
She always makes the best of grades
and is one of our very popular maids.

Vincent Chester

“IVc grant, although he had much toil.
He teas very shy of using it.”

He's always ready to help our class,
in easy or difficult tasks. Though small
in stature, he’s mighty in mind ; a boy
like Vincent you’ll seldom find.

Page Sixteen

James Hawke

"An athlete who derives great pleasure
In being some girl's greatest treasure.”

Behold our honored President, our
guide for two whole years. A backer of
clean sports is he, let’s give three rous-
ing cheers.

Laura Fiester

"He who laughs can commit no deadly
sin.”

Now Laura we could not do without,
a friend to all is she; she rags the scale
in a friendly way, and knows what she’s
about.

Emma Friedrich

“ Our todays and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.”

She doesn’t care for the frivolous
stuff, for this thing she is noted ; for her
beliefs she’ll ever fight, to her studies
she's devoted.

Kathryn Grinn

“To see her is to love her.

And love but her forever.”

Through thick and thin we’ve always a
Grinn, to cheer us on our way. She gets
her lessons every day, and after that
finds time to play.

Page Seventeen

Clarence Harney

"There is no difficulty to him who wills.”

Another of our group of whom we are
proud, you generally find him near an
admiring crowd ; but Clarence is sen-
sible, he’s an energy germ, he doesn't
like girls, he’s a regular "bookworm.”

"They also serve who only stand and
wait.”

This girl has quite a business air, and
of the work she does her share ; a fine
person to meet she’s tall and sedate,
we're glad we can say she’s a Senior
classmate.

"Common sense is genius in its working
dress.”

People who know Arthur will agree,
his appearance is that of a judge. If
you’re about to get caught for some
mischief wrought, he’ll always give you
a nudge.”

“Impossibility! Never let me hear that
foolish zvord again.”

He's calm and sedate, a most hand-
some young man, with an air of “go
slow, take it easy, you can.” He’s there
with the goods, and always looks happy ;
his speeches are short and they surely
are snappy.

Emma Jackson

Arthur Johnson

Edward Mellon

Page Eighteen

Leona Nikscii

“A heart unspotted is not easily daunted."

Leona’s very quiet, and if we’re prone
to guess. She's doomed to make a school-
marm, to instruct the primer class.

Robert Nitchman

"Enjoy the present, whatsoever it be,
and be not solieitious about the fu-
ture.”

Ladies and gentlemen, behold our
Bob, a happy and gay young man. He
edits our sports, H. H. S. he supports,
in every way he can.

Helen O’Keefe

"Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles
you.”

We have a genius in our class; none
other but Helen O’Keefe. That as a
poet, some day she'll win fame, we hold
no other belief.

Elna Paxton

‘‘Refinement is superior to beauty."

Elna Paxton is her name, and we
know some day she'll bring us fame.
Her efforts in class are not all in vain ;
of her patience and humor, partake we
would feign.

Page Nineteen

Josephine Peer

"A good cause makes a stout heart and
a strong arm.”

She has little to say, in her own quiet
way, for sure, she's a studious lass. She
works very hard in every class, and if
we were prophets, we'd say she’ll pass.

Stephen Ripley

" Wisdom is the principal thing. There-
fore get wisdom, and with all thy
getting, get understanding.”

A more versatile lad we could not find,
lie's slow but always sure ; he lent a
very helping hand, as we our annual
trials endured.

Vera Rowe

" Think all you speak, hut do not speak
all you think.”

Vera's a most independent maid, the
captain of the Basketball team. She
works quite enough, because she can't
bluff, and wants all her credits to glean.

Clarence Schnabel

“ livery day is the best day in the year.”

His cheeks are so red, his eyes arc
so bright, we’re surprised that he isn't
some girl’s delight. He always looks
pleasant, indeed very prudent. One
might almost think him a ministerial
student.

Page Twenty

I Farriette Shoemaker

“I protest, for one; love is sacred."

Now Harriette left us in January,
more learning to pursue. But she's com-
ing back to sit with her class. To us
she’s always been true.

Thelma Tolle

"To yet a few flowers, one must sow
plenty of seed.”

Now' here, clear friends, is Thelma
Tolle, so dignified is she; she studies
some and talks with ease, in fact w'e'll
agree she’s quite carefree.

Dorothy Travers

"Pier modest and graceful air
Shows her wise and good as she is
fair.”

Now Dorothy is most loving and
sweet, to have her in class is a treat ;
much work she has done for our school,
and has never yet broken a rule.

William Watkins

"The only way to have a friend is to
be one."

William is one of our Basketball men
and doesn't care for girls we are told.
His grades run high, a fine record he’s
made, in helping win victories for the
purple and gold.

Glee Wilson

“/ hear, yet say not much, but think
the more."

Glee is our commercial shark, type-
writing, her favorite pastime. She has
to learn sonnets because she comes late,
but about it she is never heard to pine.

Class History

As Freshmen, we longed and worked for the time when we would be Seniors.
At last we have reached our goal and like all things we strive for, there is joy in
the striving and discontent with the attainment. Now we wish for all those happy
days to be lived over again. Hobart High has done much for us; it has given
us knowledge of various subjects, has taught us to respect our fellow-beings, and
how to be “good sports.” Through the years we have worked with the motto,
“1925 Efficiency,” and we have usually gained success by doing so.

We entered in 1921 with an enrollment of 61. Miss Hartman and Mr. Warne,
as our sponsors, worked enthusiastically to make this year the best ever. As
“Greenhorns” we were socially active, having a weiner roast in the second month,
a Christmas party and also gave the movie “Black Beauty.” We thought our-
selves so clever, when we found that school life was not so hard as the upperclass-
men had depicted. What inner self pride when we “got away” with anything with
the teachers, like the prank of putting cheese on the radiator and thus scenting
the room. As a grand ending of this year Miss Hartman gave us a party.

The big event of the Sophomore year was the Hallowe’en party. We came
into the limelight by winning first place for putting on the best stunt. Ah ! did
we swell with pride? You see we haven’t forgotten it yet. This year we lost three
of our members, “Mac, Les and Wes.” Mac went to see what that much talked
of cruel world is like — but he came back though not to rejoin our class.

Our Junior year proved difficult considering our studies. And again we
show our ability as actors by giving the play, “Fun In a Photograph Gallery." We
had reached a position where we could hold our heads up and look with disdain
upon the Freshmen. We planned and worked for that great event, the Junior-
Senior reception, with eagerness, and what a good time we had. Under the able
direction of “Steve” as toast-master, the evening was merrily spent. Then came
the beach party given us by the Seniors, in lieu of the tabooed “hunt,” where
pickles and weiners disappeared with surprising rapidity.

At last as Seniors we have finished the years once dreaded, now prized. This
Annual records our activities and work of the past year. With the aid of our able
sponsors, Missi Wimborough and Mr. Orr, we have done our best to make this
year one to he long remembered. At times we have had to endure dissensions and
set-backs, but always to rise and carry on. We do not look forward to a “cruel
world” but to one for which we have prepared ourselves. There will be disillus-
ions, sorrows, troubles, joy and fun, but that is the stuff life is made of.

Mornings are mysteries : the first world’s youth,

Man’s resurrection, and the future’s bud,

Shroud in their births; the crown of light, life and truth
Is stil’d their starre, the stone, and hidden food.
Three blessings wait upon them, two of which

Should move : then make us holy, happy, rich.

Class IDill

Board, of Education, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends:

Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1925, of Hobart High School, 1 here-
with present to you her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand
the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from
life, and finding so many things of gigantic proportions to be attended to before
the end should call upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer
any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did collectively and
individually, deem it best to bequeath these virtues in this manner.

We, the class of 1925, in individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out
of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained
memory, and almost super-human understanding, do make and publish this, our
last will and testament, hereby making void all former wills or promises by us
at any time heretofore made, or carelessly spoken, as the thoughtless wish of an
idle hour.

And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our
friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise and ever-competent
faculty, and that the funeral be carried on with all the pomp that our position
as Seniors of “grave and reverend mien,” must certainly have deserved.

As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and
brains to win for us we do dispose of the same as follows :

Item :

We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all wisdom
of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams.

Item :

We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Prof. R. C. Allen, our sincere
affection, our deepest reverences, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of
our eternal memory.

Item:

We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all such boys and girls who were not able to
to keep pace with us.

Item :

The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as
worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable
assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart
displayed in our free and full bestowal:

First : I, Levi Bowman, bequeath my beautiful brown eyes to Donald Lee.

Second: I, Lyall Bowman, bequeath my blond complexion to Raymond Walters.

Third : I, Donald Burge, bequeath my position at Phillips & Byall’s Drug Emporium to
Clarence Hancock.

Fourth : I, Blanche Burge, bequeath my literary ability to Reuben Anderson.

Fifth : I, Irvin Burkman, bequeath my stately manner to Warren Boyd.

Sixth : I, Altadena Carpenter, bequeath my basketball ability to Eunice Werner.

Seventh : I, Evelyn Charpie, bequeath my permanent waves to William Bach.

Eighth: I, Vincent Chester, bequeath my powers as a physicist to William Messick.

Ninth : I, Laura Fiester, bequeat my ability to play the piano to Edmund Bartos.

Tenth : I, Emma Friedrich, bequeath my powers to “toot” the cornet to Grace Rossow.

Eleventh : I, Kathryn Grinn, bequeath my beautiful eyes to Nick Havrilla.

Stewart.

Seventeenth: To the Freshman Class that is to be — any over-looked cuds of gum we may
have left adhering to the underside of desks, banisters, assembly seats or any other likely or
unlikely places.

Eighteenth : I, Leona Niksch, bequeath my good looks to Isabel Roper.

Nineteenth: I, Robert Nitchman, bequeath my “shiek” ways to Eli Price.

Twentieth : I, Helen O’Keefe, bequeath my German nationality to William McAffee.

Twenty-first: I, Elna Paxton, bequeath my flaming red hair and the temper that accom-
panies it to Mr. Lawler.

Twenty-second: I, Josephine Peer, bequeath my ability to shoot baskets to Madalyn
Campbell.

Twenty-third: I, Stephen Ripley, bequeath niy ability to put the students to sleep by my
orations, to Mr. Orr.

Twenty- fourth : I, Vera Rowe, bequeath my power to charm Mr. Orr to Vance Reed.

one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five.

Freshmen Class Poem

We are the Freshmen of ’25,

To earn our credits we’ll earnestly strive.

The work is hard, but work we must.

We’ll reach our goal, just watch our dust!

To consultation we go each day,

Because of the dreaded Algebra.

The other subjects are not difficult
But oft with the teachers we consult.

Together the ladder of knowledge we climb;

It’s slow for we climb but one rung at a time.

Of course some will fail, but we’ll all make a try
We’re Freshmen, a small part of old Hobart High.

—BETHEL SIGLER.

Freshmen Class FListory

We entered High School last September in fear and trembling for we had
heard of the initiations inflicted on preceding classes. But we soon found out
that we were to undergo no physical torture although we did receive much “kid-
ding.” We have the honor of occupying that part of the assembly hall nearest the
door, so we can see everyone who enters, and it is our duty to warn the frivolous
upperclassmen whenever any teacher approaches. Those who enter can also see
us first and we believe this was arranged to make a good impression on all those
who enter the assembly.

We were introduced into the “terrors of Latin and Algebra" and also that
famous custom of being obliged to learn a sonnet after being tardy three times
and some of our members seem to have a fine appreciation of Shakespeare for
they love to sit in the halls and memorize his delightful verse.

Another thing which seemed strange to us was. that we had no two classes
in the same room and at the end of the first week we were rather stiff from ciimb-
ing the steps to the assembly hall, but on the other hand our getting in on all the
programs, pep sessions, and the like, quite recompensed us for this slight weari-
ness.

One of our greatest joys is the assembly hall. We are not forced to study any
specified subject and nearly all of our time is spent in reading library books and
shooting paper wads. However these pastimes are not confined to our section only
for we often catch upperclassmen in the act, but their long practice has made them
more proficient in the art.

When the new Freshmen came at Christmas we felt quite superior and at-
tempted to wreak all our vengeance on them — Oh well next year we’ll all be stuck up
Sophies and hand the “new Freshmen torture” — a plenty, — revenge is sweet ! ! !

Instructions to Freshmen

1. Imitate the Seniors. They’re model hoys and girls.

2. Always address the teachers by their first names.

3. Take all your books home every night, it makes an impression upon the

teachers.

4. Take candy and peanuts to classes.

5. Send the teachers flowers.

6. Never lift your eyes from your hooks.

7. Slide down the bannisters, if you’re in a hurry.

8. Write notes, don’t ask to whisper, it’s a waste of time.

9. Bring your dogs to school with you — Mr. Orr likes them.

10. Feel free to play with the department telephones, that's what they’re for.

11. Cut consultation periods. The teachers will think you clever.

12. If you wish to make high grades, — ask the teachers a lot of questions.

13. Show your pep, and start a class scrap.

The Long and Short of the Freshman Class is Harry Coons and Edna
Friedrich.

Lives of Seniors all remind us

We’re to make our lives like theirs
And departing leave behind us

Our names carved upon the chairs.

Behold the sonnet singers

A-sitting all around

The rooms and halls a-cooin’

The belated runey rounds.

We wonder if they’ll ever learn
The sufferin’ fourteen lines
Or will they come to some bad end.

Or gradually lose their minds.

We wish some new ’uns would qualify
For scenery new there’d be,

We’re tired a seein’ the same old mugs
And hearin’ ’em “tra la le.”"

In this day and age almost everyone reads. In the large cities the newspapers are printed
in many languages to meet the needs of the people. It is through this channel that we know
what the world has done, is doing, and looks like. Any high school pupil could give a fairly
good description of the Panama Canal, or the grave of King Tut, and would know who
lives in the White House, and why gold wouldn't be worth anything, if every man, woman
and child had a barrel of it.

In reading we are constantly coming in contact with characters, that we find ourselves
saying: “There. I want to be like him! If I could only be as selfless." Another book we
read is particularly imbued with a delightful atmosphere, full of harmony and purity, or
perhaps much life and gayetv. "I, too, must do something worthwhile, must create such an
atmosphere as this about me!" is the desire that wells up in us. Perhaps this aspiring state
of mind is not especially obvious to those about us. Perhaps our lives run on as far as they
can see in much the same ruts as before. But born in us, there is real'y a change, if none
but we ourselves are aware of it. Now I know what the poem means which I used to recite
glibly and senselessly at school :

"The thing we long for, that we are,

For that transcendent moment.”

Some people read because they have to, some because they enjoy it, and some for the
effect. Many try to give the effect without reading at all, which might cause such blunders as
these: A man once said he had read Romeo, and intended to read Juliet and he hoped it
would be as interesting as the former. Or the woman who saw the Bible in the home of one
of her friends, and noting how large and important it looked thought that the reading of it
would leave a lasting impression on her friends. She asked permission to take it home and
read it. On returning it a few days later, the owner of the book asked her if she had enjoyed
the Bible. “Oh, yes, but these books, you know, always end the same, they always get married
in the end,” she answered.

These blunders give the attitude of many people, who realize that in social life it is neces-
sary to be able to talk as if one had knowledge about books. No one can discuss a subject intel-
ligently if they know very little about it. So reading has become a requisite in all walks of
life.

People usually read the scandal, sports or society pages in the paper. Others only what
is necessary to get the plot of the play at the movies, and even come late to the movies, so
that they may not see the International News. While others read everything from “Snappy
Stories” to the Encyclopedia Britannica, memorize half the Bible, and go blind at the age of
thirty, not knowing the color of the house they live in (however, these cases are very rare).

Reading is a talent that very few are deprived of today. How few make use of it. de-
velop it and make it useful to them! It is the most neglected and abused of all. If one had
a beautiful home, one would not splash mud on it. That would mar its beauty. That is what
one does daily to his reading talent.

Rain and Sunshine

Oh, what’s the use of rainy days
Of rain and rain and rain
And dashing, slashing, thunder showers
Upon the window pane?

It only makes us drear and gloomy.

And lays our spirits low —

We see no good and so we think
Rain has no good to show.

It makes us cold, and crampv feelings
Run up and down our spines.

When we look out, all we can see
Are rainy, muddy lines.

We shrivel up in s'ome far corner
And groan and moan and shiver
And watch the rain as it converges
To form a tiny river.

It rains and rains and rains all day
And we look on, despairing,

And wish it never thought to rain,

It seems to us impairing.

We wish that we had naught but sun
And sunny clouds of gladness,

And never see a bit of rain —

Or rainy clouds of sadness.

And yet, if all were sun and joy
And dark clouds never came
We'd have less joy than we would, if —

This world were made of rain !

The rain has been the best of things
That we have ever known.

For, from the good, it teaches us,

There’s also bad in what we’ve sown.

For when the sun of joy looms out
Above the rain of sorrow
We're glad that it has passed, and then
We’re eager for the morrow.

It teaches us to love the good —

And hate the bad as sin ;

To make this world, a world of joy
And a world for living in !

—HELEN O’KEEFE.

His Pal

Jim Hasley primed his gun and listened to the distant howl of a coyote and the loud roar
of the Arctic winds. There was a storm coming down from the north. Nip, his dog and
companion, and he had faced many snowbound winters in that awful waste of glassy white
solitude.

“Well, Nip, old chap, twenty more miles to the first post. How will it seem to get back
to civilization again after twenty years an outcast? But we can’t stay for the Redcoats will
be on our trail. Remember, we are doing it for her. Could I do it again? I sometimes won-
der, Nip, if I could take the blame for a crime I never committed even to save her brother!”

As Jim Hasley finished speaking the cabin door blew open letting in a staggering, snow-
covered figure. The man reeled toward him.

“Help ! Quick, the Redcoats are after me ! Don't let them get me ! Please for God’s
sake, I didn’t steal it 1”

The man looked at Hasley and stopped as if dazed. "Jim — is — is that really you?” he
asked. ' .

"Yes, Howard, I’m real, although 1 have been buried twenty years to cover your devilish-
ness. Now what kind of a mess have you got yourself into?”

“Please help me once more.” Howard whined, ‘i’ll make good. Honest I will. I didn’t
do nothing. Just had a little fight."

“No, I’m through. You face the music this time.”

“Quick, they may be near now,” whined the other and then even as he turned away in
despair a cunning look flashed across his face. “What will Mary do when the Coats get me?”
he whimpered. “I know I'm a coward, Hasley, but please give me another chance to make
good for her sake.”

The blow struck home.

“You dog,” roared Hasley, “you should be ashamed to even utter your sister's name.
Yes, again I will protect you for her sake and then clear out and never let me see your face
again.”

Already the blizzard had covered the footprints of the fugitive. Jim blew out the candle
and barring the door motioned Howard to the bunk in the corner, saying, “Stay there till morn-
ing, then I’ll give some grub to you and you can beat it farther north. There’s a cabin about
fifty miles upstream.”

Howard obeyed and was soon sleeping soundly as a child. Hasley looked at the weaker
man with contempt and pity. Whenever he tried to drive the feeling away the sad, sweet
face of Mary floated before him begging him to save her brother. At last in order to stay
awake he brought out the leather belt containing his diggings of gold dust and a few nuggets.
But even in spite of these his weary head at last fell forward and he slept.

It was almost dawn when he awoke with a start. At first everything appeared to be just
the same as when he had fallen asleep. But looking around he became aware that the cabin
door was wide open letting in the wind and driving snow. In an instant he turned toward
the bunk. It was empty and so was the leather belt containing the gold. He grabbed his gun
and rushed out into the gray dawn.

Page Fifty-four

Howard had just hitched the dogs to the sled and was preparing to strike for the north.
Although a coward, he knew when he was heaten.

“You win this time, Hasley,” he muttered, handing him the gold dust, “but my time's
coming. Guess I might as well hit the trail.”

Before he had taken a dozen steps he felt Jim’s hand drop on his shoulder.

“Glad you got the sled ready, my friend,” sneered Hasley. “Guess we'd better be going.
Sorry you didn’t call me sooner.”

“Ah lemme go, I didn't do nothing !” grunted Howard.

“No, I reckon you was going to leave me without grub, money, dogs, or anything a man

has to protect himself with. Do you know the law of the north and what ought to happen to

you ?”

“Don’t kill me. I’ll give you everything I got and clear out for good. Honest, I will.”

Hasley pondered a few minutes and then said : “Howard, I'm going to take you with

me and make a man of you. Do you understand? If I can’t make a man out of you, I can
put you to good use. You can work my claim for me for a year or so, and maybe by that
time you’ll want to stay.”

Day by day they ploughed steadily forward until at last they stopped at a little cabin
two hundred miles from the post. Jim never referred to the past. Gradually Howard changed.

In the evenings after supper Hasley brought forth the Bible and read long chapters
from it. At first Howard sneered; then accepted it as a part of his life.

A year, two, three passed and the same program continued, and the two men seemed to

be drawn together in the deep solitude of that frozen land.

One day Jim and Howard were working near a large boulder. In some manner it was
moved and started rolling rapidly toward the unconscious workers below. Howard, looking
up from his work, saw it heading for Jim. He shouted but Jim did not hear. Then he started
to run. He pushed the bewildered Jim back and attempted to jump aside, but too late.

The rock fell, pinning him beneath. Dreary days and nights followed as Jim sat by his
bedside. But the black spectre of death daily hovered nearer the bleak little cabin. One morning
Howard called Jim to his bedside.

“Well, old chap, I guess I’m going over the border and I’d like to hear you call me "Pal”
just once. I know I don’t deserve even the name or place you give your dog. But, old chap, I
tried to make up — Oh ! so hard.”

He reached out and grabbed Jim’s arm, “Give me a piece of paper and a pencil, Jim.”

“Here, Jim, take this and clear yourself. I’ve been a beast not to do it sooner but the
yellow streak in me wouldn’t let me. Take my money back to Mary and if you can, make
up to her for what I should have done. And if she asks about me, if you can, say a good
word.”

Tears burned in Jim’s eyes as he stooped and kissed the fever and pain-stricken face of
the man on the bed.

“Old Pal,” he whispered huskily, "I’ll tell her you died a genuine man, thinking only of
her welfare to the last; the man who gave his life for mine!”

The man on the bed smiled faintly and slept serenely.

A few nights later Jim, with bowed head, lowered the body of his comrade to its last
resting place, deep beneath the Arctic snow.

A Senior's Study Period

I have only a period to get my history, but it surely won’t take that long, so
I’ll answer Bob’s letter first and then, — history! Shall 1 write more than two
pages? He thought I was peeved at him because I only wrote two the last time.
Well, if 1 don’t write any more than two, he’ll have to be satisfied. Where did 1
put his last letter? It’s not here in my history. Maybe it’s in my physics hook, — no.
Where on earth can it he? My gracious! I’ve looked through all my books and
I can’t find it. Say, Elna, did you see a letter in a blue envelope any place? No?
Oh heavens ! Where is it ?

What, it’s in that book I loaned you? Isn’t that terrible? I thought I’d lost
it. At last, I can write. Let me think, how shall I begin? Look! Katy has some
new socks, I wonder where she bought them. Katy ! — Katy ! Oh, she can’t hear
me ! Laura, will you ask Katy where she bought her socks ? — at Gordon’s. I
thought so, for I saw some there, just like them, last week.

Now I can write that letter — Elna wants to give me a note and Mr. Lawler
is looking right at us. There, at last, I’ve got it. She wants to know if I’m going
to the party, Friday night. No, of course not, just because I’ve a crush with a
guy out of town, the boys think they daren’t ask me to go. When all the others
couple off, you can bet on it that I won’t go alone.

Only fifteen more minutes and I must read this lesson because he always
gives us a test — Adolph! will you stop pulling my collar? Stop! I’ve got to
study this! A note? For me? Oh, Bill wants me to go to that party with him
Gee, I’m sorry but Bob’s coming home that evening and I can’t possibly break
my date with him when he gets to come home so seldom.

Heavens, Mr. Lawler’s telling me to get to work. He says I haven’t been
doing a thing this period. Why I’ve been working all the time.

I’ve written a letter and read most of my history. Teachers never give one any
credit for what one does. Just because I’ve whispered once or twice he says I haven’t
done a thing. Besides, I don’t think teachers should speak to pupils right before the
whole assembly. It is so mortifying !

Here’s a big word. I guess I’ll go up to the dictionary and then everybody
will see my new dress. Oh, there’s the bell and I haven’t my history at all. Gee,
whiz, what’ll I do? Thank goodness this life will soon he over with. I think
teachers might grant Seniors a few more privileges and not make them take every
test they give. Oh, I’ll have to hurry or I’ll be late.

Act. III. The evening of the same day.

SYNOPSIS.

The amusing comedy, “The Colonel’s Maid.” was chosen for the play for
the English department of Hobart High School. The setting was modern, the
action lively, the speeches clever.

Colonel Rudd and Colonel Byrd are deadly enemies, having in their youth fought a duel,
but their children, Bob and Marjorie, meet at college and fall in love with each other. Bob,,
under an assumed name, wins the regard of Colonel Byrd but is afraid to reveal his identity.
Besides, Marjorie refuses to marry him until they have gained the consent of both their
fathers. Since Colonel Rudd has determined that Bob shall marry his rich cousin, Julia
Carrol, who comes with her mother to visit the Rudds, the young people resort to strategy.
Marjorie comes to the Rudd household, as a maid and wins Colonel Rudd's heart ; Julia elopes
with Ned, a former lover; Mrs. Carrol and Colonel Byrd renew a youthful love affair; the
Colonels are reconciled and Bob and Marjorie win the approval of both. The success of
their scheming as well as the fun of the play is largely dependent upon the quick wit of Ching,
the Chinese cook.

Act II. “The Suddenness of Consequences”
At Jimmy Keppel’s Flat in London, a week later.

Act III. “The Consequences of Suddenness”

“All-of -a- Sudden” Peggy, by Ernest Denny, is a light comedy in three acts, originally
produced in London and New York, as late as 1907. As the title suggests, all elements of the
plot take place “All of a Sudden.” Lord Crackenthorpe, the money power of the family, who
is very much interested in spiders, is very much attracted by “Peggy,” the daughter of the late
Professor O’Mara, F. R. S. This concerns his family greatly, owing to their English dignity
being lowered by the introduction of the Irish element, but mainly because it will mean that
the “retired” Archie and Lady Crackenthorpe will have to seek other means of support. The
plot leads to Jimmy, as likely “bait” for Peggy. He was to “play up” to her and win her
from Lord Crackenthorpe, which he did, but falls in love and eventually marries her, “All-of-a
Sudden.” Lord Crackenthorpe and Mrs. O'Mara, having a common interest in spiders, seem
mutually attracted, and finally become engaged. All the “sudden” episodes and mix-ups, are
cleared away, and as usual the play ends as we think it should, “All-of-a-Sudden.”

J he Orchestra was organized under Miss Braddock’s supervision four years
ago. It was small — only thirteen members, but under her direction it flourished.
The next year her good work was carried on by Miss Barnes and last Miss Whitfield
“picked up the torch and carried on.” Under her supervision much new talent has
been discovered, not only in the High School but in the grade school as well. The
people who have had the good fortune to be in the Orchestra during their school
years will find this training a valuable asset in the big world, both socially and com-
mercially. The personnel of the Orchestra is :

Lady Frances

The scene opens in a Sorority house, just before college opens. Some of the girls have
arrived, and as they have only one maid, are eager to find another. A newspaper item tells
of Lady Frances, who in her desire to study the American girl is disguised as a maid, some-
where in the college city. A girl of this name answers their “ad,” and the mixup follows.
Bridget, who is not Lady Francis, arrives, receives so much attention, that she thinks she is in
a mad-house, and hastily (lees. Finally their first maid, the real “Lady Frances,” reveals her
identity, and the flutter ends.

basket ball Specials

An innovation introduced into our school this year by Miss Whitfield was the
“Basket Ball Specials.” It is a jazz orchestra made up of five High School pupils
and Miss Whitfield. Their chief duty was to liven up our home basketball games.
Due to the loss of one of their players we have not heard from them this last
semester of school, hut we feel sure that everyone who followed the basketball
activities the first half of school appreciated their music. The members of this
organization are :

Society

Inasmuch as the number of girls in our class so greatly outnumbered that of the boys,
one might have imagined that our social life to have deviated from the usual trend of
social activities and instead of the dance and other co-ed frolics to have consisted of
“sewing bees,” but such was not the case. When we entered High School we were a
large class of interesting “chaps,” but many of our members have fallen by the wayside.

In our Junior year we economized on the parties, saving our pennies for those fes-
tivities at the end of the year. But this, our Senior year, has been a busy one.

Hallowe'en Party

There was a grand turnout at the Roosevelt Gym. Saturday, October 31. Old fash-
ioned ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, Spanish cavaliers and cheir smiling senoritas, Dutch
girls, clowns and every type of human species imaginable were assembled.

“Oh, wad some power the giftie g’ie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!”

The gym was decorated very effectively in Hallowe'en colors and there were four
booths decorated in the colors of the different classes.

Members of the classes entertained with a stunt. The Freshmen acted out several
well kno'yn Mother Goose Rhymes.

The Sophomores had a musical revue under the competent leadership of the rather
bedraggled looking German general, Max Brand. He certainly looked like he had won
all the medals he displayed.

Then came the Juniors — a short vodvil sketch, with Bill Messick, as the constable
of Grasshopper Center, Bill McAfee, the crack cough drop salesman, and Marjorie Lutz,
the woman in the case. We certainly envy Marjorie and her ability to giggle — we think
she should commercialize it.

Last the dignified Seniors gave a radio program ; stock reports, world crier, musical
program; just like KYW, even to the bedtime story for the Freshmen, which was told
by their own “Uncle Clarence” Schnabel.

To our relief refreshments were announced, but to our grief we had to pay for them,
so we weren't quite so greedy as usual. Each class was eager to have its booth sell the
most and soon the hall rang with cries of the official barkers: "Pumpkin pic. five cents a
cut.” “Right this way for ice cream sandwiches." “Right here, hot dogs, one nickel.”
Soon everyone was munching on pop-corn balls, taffy apples, or the like; it took a very
short time for the booths to be stripped of all the edibles.

Everyone chatted sociably, and loyally saying that his class had the best stunt. Some
people said this was the very best Hallowe’en party ever, and- — well, we thought so, too.

Christmas Party at the Qym.

For the first time in the history of the local schools, the grades of both buildings, the
high school and the West Hobart School participated in a most pleasing and interesting
program.

The enrollment this year is more than 950, and we were informed about all of the
pupils were present, besides the teachers, twenty-five in number, and perhaps as many
patrons of the school, making more than a thousand present and seated. Nearly a thou-
sand children is quite a sight, we can assure you, and the children, too, enjoyed every
minute of it.

The program was a mixed one. each teacher being free to have her pupils put on any
appropriate stunt they cared to. Most of the participants were in costume. The music
was furnished by Miss Whitfield, music director, the High School Orchestra, and the

Page Sixty-four

High School Chorus. Max Brand acted the part of Santa Claus. The presents for each
room were in a separate parcel, placed under the Christmas tree, they were delivered to
the several teachers who returned with the pupils to their several rooms for distribution
of the presents.

The program was as follows:

1. An Old-Fashioned Christmas H. S. Quartette

2. Cantique de Noel H. S. Quartette

3. Christmas Story Thelma Tolle

4. Christmas Bells First Grade

5. Happy Days Second and Third Grades

6. “Giving and Getting” West Hobart

7. Christmas Shoppers Third and Fourth Grades

8. Ye Olden Christmas Carolers, Fifth and Sixth

9. The Night Before Christmas Junior H. S.

10. Pantomime High School

Sophomore Party

The Sophomores held a very peppy party in the community hall March 20. The
greatest part of this party is that they were kind enough to ask the Juniors.

The evening was spent in dancing, {slaving bunco, and other games were provided
for, by the able committee. The hall was decorated in the sophomore colors, blue and
silver. The light hangings were very beautiful, and we know that the decorators had a
very keen eye for art.

“We Will” is the sophomores’ motto and those who were there said they certainly
lived up to it. And we hope they always will live up to it. This party was one of the
largest social events of the year.

Senior Party

The Seniors assembled with their guests on March 27, at eight o’clock at the Community
hall, which was gaily decorated in the class colors, green and white. Each one sought one
of the small tables grouped about the hall and had an uproarious time playing bunco. There
was continual calling of scores between tables to determine who was ahead. Finally, the four
at the first table all yelled together that they had buncoed. There was great excitement when
the winners sought a higher place at the next table.

At ten o’clock two lovely prizes were awarded to the winning boy and girl, and two
comical ones were awarded. After the prizes had been awarded everyone chose a partner
and glided gracefully to the syncopated music of the orchestra. Those seeking refreshment
visited the punch bowl, presided over by Madalyn and Helen. At a late hour all departed
regretting that this would be the last senior party.

Junior '-Senior Party

As Lincoln said, "We will little note, nor long remember what we say here but we can
never forget what we did here,” so might the seniors say, “We will little note nor long re-
member what we say here but we can never forget what we ate here.” The Juniors felt that
their banquet had indeed been a success from every point of view Just ask those who peeked
in the windows, and saw lovely lilies of the valley, in all their glory, and incense adorning
the tables; green and white paper hanging from the ceiling; and lights, illuminating the happy
faces, young and old, teachers and pupils, the school board and dear Uncle Bill, all smiling
on this grand occasion.

They heard sweet music, and ardent and instructive speeches, and the hearty laughter
from all, made those hearty onlookers have a great desire to some day be one at a Junior
and Senior banquet, like the one of 1925.

Freshman Party

A Freshman party was given at the library March 30. Under the sponsorship of Miss
Tichnor and Mr. Johnson. The evening was spent in playing games such as — Dumb Crambe,
Three Deep, Charades, and Feathers. At an early hour the refreshment committee served
a dainty lunch. Soon after the refreshments the little Freshmen began to see the sand man
and journeyed home.

Rooseuelt Gymnasium

Last year we were living with anticipatory ideas, as to all the enjoyment
our new gymnasium would afford us when it was finished. Then it was only
dreams, but this year has brought us reality. It serves us in many capacities, and
is a means of promoting many social activities. We can now have joint school
programs, such as the Christmas party, and it’s seating capacity will accommodate
the enrollment of the entire school. We look upon it as a structure of artistic worth
to our campus, and it’s modernness in every respect is an item deserving of men-
tion. We no longer feel the handicap of being a small school with none of the
modern conveniences which the larger schools, with whom we must compete, have,
but rather we are small, with all the facilities, making for success in our athletic-
activities.

We are indeed proud to entertain our athletic guests in such a beautiful new
home. For it has promoted coed athletics, and makes possible a chance for each
girl in our High School to have the benefits of a physical education. As has been
shown this year, it can plainly he seen that athletics will no longer be confined to
basketball for the boys. In this manner we wish to extend a vote of thanks to our
parents and all others who have made possible this magnificent structure, and hope
our records in the future will show our sincere thanks in a more concrete manner.

I ‘age Sevenly-tivo

Coach Lau;ler

To Mr. Lawler is clue all honor, for his
commendable work in athletics the past year.
The students of the school and members of
the basketball team appreciates his efforts.
He is a popular teacher and “sport” in and
out of school and has secured the good-will
and admiration of all pupils and patrons. At
all times he endeavored to display the best
ethics of basketball. He was an excellent
host to visiting teams, and through all his
splendid qualities has thoroughly permeated
interest in all athletic activities.

Leader brand

A word of appreciation from the pupils and basketball fans is due our yell
leader. Max Brand. Under his direction, the school and other rooters have kept
the spirit of the team at its highest point. His excellent appearance on the floor,
attired in his purple and white suit, presents the form of a graceful and “snappy”
yell leader.

Basketball

The season of 1925 marked one of the most successful years of basketball in Hobart
High since athletics was given a firmer stand, several years ago.

The team with Coach Lawler directing, started the season with five successive victories,
the boys being in excellent form and their training unsurpassable. Such teams as Lowell, Knox,
Wanatah and Hebron being humbled by their sudden onrush. The victories were not to con-
tinue, as iGeorge Murray, one of our forwards left us, and six straight losses were chalked
up against us. The team was not playing the right defensive and it seemed that the net was
not snapped with much vigor during that particular phase of the season. Games were lost
in small gymnasiums to our opponents by very small margins, so it showed that we were
still in the running. After an unsuccessful trip of three out-of-town games, the team again
hit its stride and defeated their opponents on the floor of Roosevelt Gym.

The team as well as Coach Lawler deserve great credit for their many hours of strenuous
practices, only to keep Hobart represented in the line of basketball. At till times the boys
fought, and though they did lose, the better was always hoped for the next time. A thing of
importance that is to be remembered, is, that during the entire season the team's progress
was never stunted by ineligibility. The boys worked hard to keep their grades up, and due
recognition was given them.

The support given them by the patrons of the school was greatly appreciated, and it is
hoped that their enthusiasm for basketball will continue, and that next season will be as suc-
cessful as this.

Boy's Tournament

The boys’ basketball tournament held in the fore part of the year was won
by the Sophomore class team of the High School. A drawing was taken by the
presidents of the respective classes, and the games proceeded as follows :

The Seniors defeated the Freshmen 6 to 5 in the first game of the tourna-
ment. Both teams played well considering the material that each class had to pick
from. The Juniors put up a game fight but the Sophomores defeated them 9 to
8 in a very exciting game, that belonged to either team until the whistle blew.
The final game resulted in defeat for the Seniors, 15 to 4, and the Sophomores
were crowned champions. Here’s lots of luck for another championship in the
future, Sophomores ! ! !

Qirl’s Tournament

The Sophomores took the tourneys both boys’s and girl’s, though we think
if the Seniors had played the final game, such a catastrophe would not have hap-
pened. In the beginning the Sophomores, with Dorothy Dunning as captain de-
feated the Freshmen 15 to 1, the latter being overwhelmed with an avalanche of
field goals. They next proceeded to beat the Seniors 8 to 4 in a very hectic battle,
and then swamping our Juniors 4 to 0. As the final game of the tourney, the
Seniors were slated to meet the Sophomores for honors, but due to lack of players
on the Senior team, the game was forfeited to the Sophomores 2 to 0, and our
“Second Year Children” were crowned victors.

Page Seventy-five

JAMES HAWKE— Jim was the
backbone of the team this season by
his consistent scoring, and “fight to the
end” spirit. He specialized in shots from
the side of the floor and making the
first basket in the game. We lose him,
he is a graduate.

GORDON ARGO — Gord was not
given a good chance until the season
was well under way. He was a good
scorer, making his debut in the Ches-
terton game. He always did his best and
fought hard. One more year for him,
and lots of good luck.

DONALD LEE — “Smoky” worked at
center most of the time and displayed
his ability to hold down the pivotal po-
sition. He always made a hit with girls
at out-of-town games and was presented
with many charming nicknames.
“Smoky” has two more years.

ELI PRICE — “Sheik," the ladies' man !
Eli had many chances to get in the game.
He always succeeded in getting his man,
and keeping him. He was not a steady
scorer but his floor work was fast. We
can watch Eli two more vears.

WILLIAM McAFEE — Mac, our

agile floor guard, was a very fast man
on the team, and by his fighting spirit
shown, he could stop anything that con-
fronted him. “The bigger they are, the
harder they fall,” is Bill’s motto. Here’s
watching him next year.

EDWIN SCHARBACH -- “Duke,”
our smiling hack guard, picked them off
the bank, high or low, it made no dif-
ference. When he got the hall he usually
kept it. and many times he would drib-
ble to the center of the floor and take
a crack at the net. Eddie is only a Sopho-
more.

WILLIAM WATKINS— Bill, one of
our dependable subs, could play the floor
guard position or as a forward. He was
only in a few games, but while in, he
displayed his way of playing clean as
well as snappy “basketball.” Bill grad-
uates this year.

JOHN STEWART — Johnnie subbed
at back guard several times during the
season. He could fool 'em right and left
and you ought to see that man leave
the floor and pick them off the bank.
John is only a Freshman and we will
be able to see him play for three years
more.

HERBERT SCHARBACH— I lerbie
was in the game several times and work-
ed the center and forward positions.
Herb has a good eye for the basket and
several times while playing, he managed
to do his part in the scoring. Herb is
only a Sophomore and here’s three vears
more of good luck.

Page Seventy-seven

Coach Hunter

Through the fruitful efforts of Miss
Hunter, the girls of the school have been
introduced to the interesting and difficult
methods of physical exercise. It was
through her influence that a Physical Train-
ing class was started and success achieved
in the line of basketball. Her efforts were
demonstrated several times before the pub-
lic, and performed at the Whiting game.

By all her excellent coaching methods, she
has placed girls’ athletics on a firmer basis
in Hobart High School.

Leader Carpenter

As a representative of the fair sex of the High School, Altadena has assisted
Max in his duties as yell leader. She has all the requisite qualities of a leader, and
with her everlasting pep and pleasing personality, enables the two to work to-
gether in perfect harmony.

Tournament at East Chicago

On Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7, the sectional tournament was held
in Washington Gymnasium at East Chicago. The games in the semi-finals and
finals were very exciting, Froebel of Gary winning the tournament by defeating
Emerson in the final game Saturday night.

Following are the scores of the games :

Froebel, 29; Whiting, 17.

Hammond, 22 ; Lowell, 18.

Saturday :

Semi-finals :

In the Hobart-Emerson game, our boys who had proved so successful in the
past season did not fare so well against the Emersonians. Our team was over-
whelmed by long field goals which were dropped in from every angle of the floor.
The boys did fight hard throughout the game, hut the results showed that Emerson
was a hard team to buck up against.

Qirl's Basketball

W hen you reckon the number of games won and lost, a showing of great
importance was not made by the Girls team this year, but with their way of pre-
senting a basketball game in girl s fashion, the showing that they made on the floor
was of the best.

Coach Hunter drilled the girls, and like the results obtained in her Physical
1 raining class, they displayed an improvement in basketball over that of previous
years. The games that were lost, were not on account of neglecting to fight at all
times, because the girls exhibited a class of ball on tbe border between that style
played by the boys and then the strict rules that place a more of a limit on them.
They fought in a sportsmanlike manner and still held to the word, “we are of the
fairer sex.”

It is hoped that girls’ athletics be placed on a firmer basis in the future and
let the season of 1925 be one to look back upon.

Page Seventy-nine

Physical Training

A new phase of athletics, a girl’s physical training class, was introduced into
High School this year.

A group of would-be athletes entered the class, and it was only through the
patience and drilling of their supervisor, Miss Hunter, that they finally learned
to carry out her commands when they were given.

With such coaching and drilling, the girls were able to invite the High School
in the early part of December to watch their regular class work. Marching tac-
tics, exercises, folk-dances and a game of Captain Ball between the Freshmen-
Senior, and Junior-Sophomore teams were the attractions of the day. The Junior-
Sophomore team won the game. A hearty applause accompanied the close of the
exhibit, and thus encouraged, the girls worked hard until January 31st when their
second appearance as a preliminary to the Whiting game was made before the
public.

The community basketball fans enjoyed a snappy drill consisting of much the
same program as the former exhibit with the exception of several new exercises
and dances. Since the second semester, “consultation has been the cause of a
great decrease in the number of the class, hut it must he said that the “would-be
athletes” of the first semester have gained their goal.

Senior Farewell

When the school’s last lesson is mastered,

And the classes are tested and tried ;

When the stupidest student has vanished,

And the dullest has stepped aside ;

We shall rest and, faith, we will need it : —
Till the wonderful school of experience
Shall set us to work anew !

Then we who have gone shall be happy ;

We shall pass through life’s higher grade;

We shall face the world's difficult problems
With countenance unafraid;

We shall pass through each test as we meet it,
At the sounding of duty’s stern call ;

We shall work every day — when we have to
And never be tired at all.

And only the big world shall praise us,

And only the big world shall blame,

Though we work for the joy of the winning
And climb up the pathway of fame ;

For each in his separate calling,

His separate thought must express,

As he follows the gleam as he sees it
To the goal that to him means success.

We hope we may always bring honor
To our dear Alma Mater H. H. S.

That we’ll live again for new victories,

And our tests will show us the best,

So were saying goodbye to our teachers,
Goodbye to the Purple and Gold ;

We shall always cherish the memories
That our four years in High School unfold.

The Editor's Note

Your name may appear in the previous pages or
it may not. Now. please don’t get angry in either case.
If you have won distinction enough to entitle you to a
place, you are to he congratulated ; i f not, it is to he
hoped that by another year you may have that pleasure.
We have attempted to give a birdseye view of one year
in Hobart High School. Naturally we have hoped from
the first to make this the best hook of its kind ever pub-
lished here. Our aims have been high. That our re-
sults have fallen far short we know. However, it has
given us many joyous moments as well as thoughtful
ones and we hope our efforts have not been entirely
in vain. We thank all who have helped to make it a
success, particularly our advertisers. Goodbye, may you
see us in your dreams. We thank you.

THE LESSON WENT HOME

A teacher, trying to impress upon her
children the importance of kindness to
animals, took them for a walk in order
to bring the lesson home to them.

Hearing a scream from little Willie,
she asked: “What’s the matter, Willie?”

STUDY THIS TABLE—

Here’s a little story:

A rich and wise man was asked by a young man lmw to
become rich. The rich and wise man was busy. He
handed the young man a printed sheet from his desk.
“Why,” said the youngster, “this is only an interest table.”
“True,” said the old man, “but it is the best answer I can
give you.”

TOMORROW, TODAY WILL BE YESTERDAY!

The small boy puzzled over this astounding - fact,
and little realized that he was discovering- one of
the great principles on which successful busi-
nesses and successful lives are founded. Ask a
dozen men to summarize the basis of their suc-
cess, and it could all be boiled down to this —

“Yesterday I prepared for today.”

Today is the only day in which you can prepare
for tomorrow. The clock ticks ofif the hours, and
they will never return. The things you do not
start will never be done.

This bank is interested in helping you build suc-
cessful plans for the future. Come in and see us,
and let us tell you about a savings account.

YOUNG MEN who are “up” on style — and most of
them are — will see exactly what they’ve been looking-
for in these new suits. Wider shoulders, pockets and
buttons are lower! The coats have a suggestion of a
waist line! They are shorter and snug over the hips,
“gathering” in slightly the hip-fullness of the trousers.
They’re smart all right, and our fine fabrics and
needle-work go with them.

Build With Brick

The most ancient, as well as the most modern,
building - material in the world is brick.

Brick are prehistoric. Archaeological borings
in Egypt uncovered bricks deposited there over
ten thousand years ago. The earliest recorded
date in history, 3800 B. C., is found on a brick
tablet in the time of Sargon of Akkad. Nebuchad-
nezzar erected a brick palace; some of the pyra-
mids are made of brick.

Today brick buildings are the best known to
builders. Brick are strong, reliable, last forever.
Bricks can be used anywhere for any kind of
building.

KULAGE BRICKS ARE SHIPPED
INTO TEN DIFFERENT STATES

This wide demand is an indication of their quality.
